If you are scared they won't hire you then they'll likely pick up on that and won't. Be honest and confident.

Despite that the outlook for welding careers is outstanding. I would urge you to look farther along the educational track than manual processes though. Robots and computerized systmes will continue to take a lot of those jobs. You want to be the welder who can program them. :-)
